Nice to hear. The single quote issue is the main thing that keeps me from using black. Double quotes are just too noisy.


Black can be configured to use single quotes. In fact, I think it's the only style configuration you can make.



I think it's the `--skip-string-normalization` flag which means "Don't normalize string quotes or prefixes".


But I want them normalized. Normalized to single quotes.


Yes, this. I have early-stage cateracs, which by-and-latge is not an issue on my 40 inch monitor. But it does mean that my astigmatism drifts around monthly. My prescription changes faster than I can get new lenses cut. The BIGGEST ergonomic issue for my with Python is single versus double quotes. Double quotes are the difference between happily coding all day versus a headache at lunch time and 5% less done. Fuck Black.


Can you say more about how single quotes vs double quotes is helpful for you? I rarely write python, but I have a passion for accessibility and I'm curious about this.
